- While not absolutely certain I believe this performance by John Prine and Steve Goodman was during The Philadelphia Folk Festival on April 7, 1973. They closed their performance with a medley of Hank Williams, Senior's fabulous hit songs. Information to the contrary is most welcome. I'm having a time identifying this performance.

No doubt Steve and John are cutting up again in heaven. This world misses them both, deeply.
I'm sure they're having a ball!
John and Steve are writing and playing together again. I'll wait and listen to them when I get there. RIP
Save me a seat please.
Lucky angels.
I figure I best listen to them while I can. No delusions about my life. Guess that's why I live in Arizona, need to acclimate.
I've listen to Steve and JP for 45yrs or so, could listen for 45 more.
Steve and John are Chicago. Steve and John are American Folk Music. Steve left us all too early. John hung in there as long as he could. That's Chicago. RIP.
They both appeared together at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis in the late 70's...suddenly Steve asked for a cowboy hat and boots from the audience. Some got thrown on stage and he put them on. They did another 40 minutes of Hank...they wore out the full house from clapping and cheering. A fun, wild night with these two guys...never saw a better concert in my life...
I'm jealous. I can only imagine the atmosphere that night.
Steve regularly "borrowed" a cowboy hat from the crowd.....
😂
I first had a connection with Steve in Jan '73. Riding a motorcycle from Houston, Texas back to Ft. Lee, Va after Xmas leave. Somewhere in Alabama or Georgia I was slowly passing a loooong freight train riding about 200-300 yards north of the highway and realized I was singing "City of New Orleans". To this day 47 years later riding towards my next adventure I find myself singing that song not knowing if I'm singing it again or never stopped.
John Prine used to brag that he knew the first verse of every song Hank Williams ever wrote, jokingly he and Steve called it total partial total recall or total partial recall and then dissolve in giggles. Then they would straighten up and give a performance like this!
These two men were the pride and joy of the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago.
I dare anyone to listen to this and not smile . Rest Peacefully sweet Steve
I'm smiling
RIP all 3
@@jeffscott8323 Yes , for sure

One of The Greatest America songwriter,Up there with the Greatest Hank William R.I.P.John Prine.
All 3 great
John Prine was the salt of the earth.God gave him a gift that he shared. I am grateful that he did.
This is like a gift within a gift.
Thanks Jim for checking in with us.
John & Steve were having fun doing Hank's songs while working on classics of their own
Enjoying music what it's all about. Enjoy life now more than ever
All of these songs were favorites of my late father. Songs I cut my teeth on, and they're still stuck on me.
I grew up a little south of him, but I do not miss them. Thanks to youtube, I still have them. They are in a better place and I can search & dig for years and I'll keep finding Gold. They ain't gone and they ain't forgotten. They are just broadcasting from Heaven now.
Thanks Shane for those cards and letters.
@@janhammer39, didn't you write the theme for Miami Vice?
@@janhammer39 , Jan, Thank you so must for posting this fabulous moment in American music history. My kids know who Hank and Prine were and are, and I try my very best to play Hank, Cash, Stevie or Prine, etc. to my grands every chance I get, so it will be ingrained in their memories of me. Keep up the GOOD work!!
Thank You.
RIP Chicago Shorty , aka Steve Goodman
2 musical gods. One gone much too early the other much too soon. Miss you 2 rascals.
Love all 3 of them. Never heard steve until 2001 and i adored him. Makes me want to cry tho as i watch Hank. My dad played guitar and sang his music. He was good too. He dressed a lot like him . The hat, slacks. Slim built, handsome. Thanks for the reminiscing. Im 74, so its a lot of years. Love country music.
Thanks Glennda for checking out the channel and for the comment.
Your love of the music comes across in your words, it'll keep you young.
That country music , I cant get my head around some of the newer country.
Extremely well-done by talented Prine & Goodman. Thanks for sharing !
Thanks!, Thanks a lot!, Thanks one more time!
I was privileged to see them play a Hank medley at Cambridge Fold Festival in the UK that summer. They had so much fun together. Both total legends.
Wow what a find! Enjoyed this so much. This is REAL country music.
I think this was at the Academy of Music in Philly.. I was there in April of 73. They shared the bill and closed show with a Hank Williams medley. My first intro to Steve Goodman!
Thanks Steve and that's the best information I can find on the venue.
I remember seeing the other guitarist on John's "Diamonds in the Rough" album, David Bromberg, play with Steve Goodman at that same Philly Academy of Music in '78 or '79. Great place for acoustics & to hear the words of two great songwriters
@@edpack8677 I agree with you, the Philadelphia Academy of Music was a great place for acoustics. I even saw Queen Ida there, but I cant remember the date I remember seeing John & Steve together at the Tower theater also .
I grew up just north of him and boy did I miss it !!
the childhood memories come flowing in Listening to this awesome medley. Sunday rides with Mom and Dad. 8 trac jamming me and my two brothers driving my Mom crazy singing all these Hank W. tunes. After about an hr or two of us three singing my Dad would say okay boys your Mom had enough, laughing, singing, Sunday rides..Damn I miss my youth, and Mom RIP mOM miss you.
Thanks for sharing this piece of priceless musical history.
steve is a giant no matter how tall he was
I got married on April 7, 1973. I'd have done better had I been at this show.
ur bad. but u must be good too cuz ur here!
Lol many of us would have
Well, I hope you at least got some material for some good songs out of your experience. :-)
My mistake happened in 1976.
Almost all marriages are mistakes! J P music is soothing.
Used to see Stevie and Prime in tiny clubs in rural PA. What music they make.(made). They rarely did each others songs, back in the early 70's, except You Don't Have To Call Me Darlin, Darlin. Two uniquely talented troubadours with a hellofalot to say. We were just kids then, though we felt "fully grown up"!? My tears rolled on hearing of Steve's long anticipated (&dreaded) death. Prince's fairly recent death hit me where I live as well. Miss you bozos. See ya real soon, boys.
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to 3 greats in the the world of American music all in one clip!
These guys nail it. What a show that must've been. Steve Goodman is country.
Just wonderful, this has made my day..
This recording is amazing ... thanks for sharing this treasure
My old man was a local country singer in early 50s late 40s. Used to play this he was good precious fond memories.
Great songs with the photos is wonderful. Thanks.
Two men paved the way for real country music Jimmy Rodgers and Hank William's.
Thank you so very much! Tribute to three legends!❤❤❤
✨❤️✨❤️✨ My Goodness!!! What a treasure to happen upon❤️ Did my heart much good today. Thank you for sharing such a gift, with us humans ✨❤️✨❤️✨
Hank Williams was the father of country music. Steve and John were 2 of his disciples
RIP JOHN PRINE
Steve left us way too young. John remains the best.
Love this... keeping an old singer songwriters stuff going... important since Hank has been gone so many years... always love to see a nod to the old guys from the up and coming..done made it now songwriters... great tribute
such a close friendship between the two although john a great picker elaboration from steve, great together, big unity in the great divide
Oh! Fabulous; we have seen them together, and John many times since.
Haven't heard John in a long while.
What a concert in Heaven.
Thank you for visiting my site and for your comment.
Thanks go to you and your sense of whats good and timeless.
thank YOU for all the GREAT music and warm memories
@@teslah2997 Thanks for checking in with us.
Going to see John on October the 6th in Reno. Can't wait.
Have a safe and wonderful time.
This is SO GOOD. Thank you. ❤❤❤
God bless who ever posted this jewel. I love you Hank.
Thanks Susan for tuning in.
This is fantastic. Thank you!
Thanks for visiting the channel.
Jan Hammer your doing a great service and its performances like these that give us older folk the best way to tell our kids and grand kids and more about the music and the lives intertwined both fleeting and forever.
Great when musical talent sings their music inspiration.
what a treasure, thanks for finding it and sharing
EXCECTIONAL VIDEO!!!EXCECTIONAL!❤
Can anyone out there help me?......my 63 year old memory isn't as good as it once was......
I was at the Philadelphia Folk Festival one summer evening specifically to see Jim Croce.......who was probably the headliner that night because he was being played on the radio regularly that summer.
Sitting there on the grassy slope....enjoying the earlier acts......and who do I see for the very first time is none other than John Prine.
I've been a fan of his ever since that warm August evening.
Jim Croce and John Prine in the same evening.
Is there anyone out there who can tell me what year that was?
Thanks for posting! Big fun listening to it - almost as much as these goofballs had performing it. Love to John and to Steve and Hank up there in music heaven.
Thanks Bob for tuning in.
Them dudes knocked that out good awesome
Awesome love them!
Love these guys and this music
Great piece of musical history and fun, too! Thanks, Jan.
That was a fun one to produce.
Two of my early heros... Chicago's own
Musicians know all the songs don't they. What a good morning find. And its practiced no doubt, not just off the cuff.
Thanks Christine for visiting the channel.
Pretty sure that this is straight off the cuff Christine. As JP says, about half way through, "Just like the Everly Bros 'aint it". Well no, it 'aint, but still priceless. Hank was on his own as a songwriter, but John and Steve certainly are close.
You'd be surprised when a couple musicians get together how much material they have in common. That's how a good jam happens.
This is a treasure.
Thanks Kathy for tuning in. Keep those cards and letters comin' in.
❤❤✊ Precious. THANK YOU.
Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote this song, and he told me it was the perfect country and western song.
You never even called me by my name!
Anita Carter, exotic plain Jane. A real American girl next door beauty. Oh, thanks Steve and John. That was cool.
Love the video too!
Great music. Classic. They actually sound like him
Before rock we had Hank.
Thanks and Aloha Jan
I would agree. Nice find.
Could be. I was there that year. I know after the music that night, I was back at the motel in Schwencksville, awaiting the after parties...Was that the year we all showed up in Dylan's room with Janis Ian and Maria Muldhar asking Bobby to please play 2:10 Train?
Was 17 then would have loved to been there
Steve sure could pick a guitar.
Actually Jan this performance was at The Main Point, Phila.'s preeminent Folk Club. It was the encore to Steve's show (Bonnie Raitt was also in attendance).
@Michael Coffey - confirmed 1973-04-07 & 08
@ the Main Point, Bryn Mawr, PA; per bbchron.blogspot.com/2013/06/steve-goodman-with-john-prine-1973-04.html
@@mitchc7732 The Main Point was the place... I saw so many great shows there.... Steve G., Townes, Jerry Jeff, Little Feat...wish there was still places like that
This sounds like a Main Point concert. They played Philly Folk Fest together but none of the sets of tunes were 10 minutes long.
Never got the chance to burn one with John, damn
wow.. SO COOL
Hey Daniel, if ya ever see this your on the right track. Love ya.
Did he ever see it?
if the date of the recording is indeed April 7, 1973 then the show was not the Philadelphia Folk Festival which is held in August. From its inception until the mid 2010's the festival was held the last full weekend in August annualy and now has been moved to the 2nd weekend I believe to avoid conflicts with labor day - I know this as fact since I went to every PFF between 1967-1984 - My sister had many a birthday at the festival which is on Aug 29.
You are correct with the dates....the move to the second weekend happened in the 90's because so many of the volunteer committee chairs had kids going off to college....that festival is a family affair.... we have 4 generations invested
Out standing
Oh my goodness! 😃
Thanks John for checking with us.
Amen l love you too 😂❤❤❤❤
I liked Steve and John's takes on these songs better than Hank's. RIP All.
Sorry you’re so wrong. Nothing beats ain’t nobody day is country singer ever did you boys are good there’s only one Hank Williams.
Thanks Norah for checking out my site and for your comment. I hope April 7, 1973 is a correct date. Is there anyway to confirm it that you know of.
Does anyone remember John Prine playing at the Academy Of Music in Philadelphia Pa ? It was early April 1973. I can't remember the date or if Steve Goodman played with him.
How did you find this?
Jan Hammer Do u play keyboard lol . But Really , . . Killer piece of music , and real nice pics . in video . ive not seen some of Hank before . cool.
Jan Hammer Group is legendary
If our President should say something very gently it should be Steve Goodman John Prine David Allan Coe Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings all these individuals of our society that makes life today recognizable God bless us look at the flag sometimes when you don't see anything else
We sit in the back seat and enjoy life so many times God bless Hank Williams
These are times sometimes today we don't even realize what happened back then as we see it today it's not so confusing
Thanks very kind
Hey, Tee Dee... Maybe we can get the IP address for their "Cloud Account"?
Love it! But, I think that's June's sister at the beginning of the video. :-)
Yes Anita.
Anita cash? There's two guys at some poiny, one is definitely Goodman, and I don't think the other is Prine. Any ideas?
Like 9:27 is that Prine and Goodman?
Great stuff. Where did you find it?
Thanks for checking in and I've long forgotten where I got it.
😇✌🙏💥💖
dope! makes me wish i could jaaaaam oh well...guess i can do other things?
Glad I saw Steve Goodman (after the diagnosis). I'll have to wait for heaven to yuck it up with John Prine. I hope it's like he described it...
This was before Hank Jr became famous
Who?
People still sing their songs
Jeff Scott all three of them -Hank Steve & John’s songs will be remembered for ever
Idk I don't think the philly folk festival was ever in April, should the description be August??
John looks like Anita Carter and Steve like Hank Williams!
Thanks for tuning in.
Saw "Singing Hank Williams Medley" & had to give a listen. GRESAT STUFF! I think Hank would tip his hat to this medley! Love those old movie clips, too. Is that a Dumont television in the beginning of the video?
Steve Goodman get out the sharp stick LOL
i thought i was the only one who caught that
